Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give warmth to any space, without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.

If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and you follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should be operating safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or to add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it should not take more than an hour for professionals to do it.

You can also pick between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of design and ambiance without toxic gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is made by a burner pan located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames have been established and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace suites produces, which is beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate gas or ash that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install within your home. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you choose the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, making it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the installation ease when buying a fireplace.

No Flu

The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release numerous particles that could affect the air. This is beneficial for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it won't cause bad odor in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose heat to the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture near the flame without having to worry about it burning and causing danger.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed model which will blend in with the style of your home.

Another thing to think about is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol away from pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot created by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable items or equipment.

Bioethanol Fire fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home, and also where you can experience the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired location of your home. You can even put a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace stove anywhere you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to utilize the remote control to shut it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
